## What it is
A lightweight, header-only C++20 binary serialization library with built-in RPC support, designed for seamless and fast serialization of arbitrary objects. It is the successor to zpp::serializer, emphasizing simplicity, constexpr support, and high performance.

## Use cases
- serialize C++ objects to binary
- deserialize binary data back into C++ types
- implement lightweight RPC between processes
- serialize standard library containers
- constexpr serialization at compile time
- fast binary serialization with minimal overhead

## When to choose
- you need a single-header, dependency-free C++20 serialization solution
- you want fast binary serialization with benchmarks showing top performance
- you need lightweight RPC without heavy frameworks like gRPC
- you work in freestanding or exception-free environments

## When to avoid
- you need C++17 or earlier compatibility
- you need text-based or human-readable formats like JSON or XML
- you require cross-language serialization with schema definitions like protobuf

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: serialization, rpc
- domain: developer-tools, microservices, performance
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: header-only, cpp20, binary-serialization, constexpr, single-header
